Tno Attorney Oenerdl-OlQ ue IeIuTu
by the road he quilted you?
Witness-No, sir. He came back an
other way.
The Attorney General-As before?
Witness-Yes, sir; as before.
The Attorney General-What time WIS
it then?
Witness-Seven o'clock.
The Attorney General-Was it getting
dark9
Witness-It was already dark, sir, and
beginning to drizzle.
The Attorney General-What were the
next instructions?
Witness-To drive to the Metropolitan
Music hall, Edgeware road.
The Attorney General-You drove
there?
Witness-Yes, sir, and my master got
out.
The Attorney General-Saying what?
Witness-M -Moorhouse, he said: II don't
know how long shall remain here. 1t
may bs an hour OF only o. Few minutes.
Keep near"
The Attorney General-You obeyed his
instructions?
Witness-Yes, sir. 1 kept within hail,
and my master came out at half-past nine.
The Attorney General-Alone?
Witness-No, sir. Hewas accompanied
by man.
. The Attorney General-A young or an
old man?
Witness-I can't say.
The Attorney General-But you saw
him?
Witness-Only his back. They walked
away from the carriage.
The Attorney Generel-There IS gencr-
ally something in the gait Of q man which,
within limits, denotes his age-that is to
say, as whether he is young or old? Can
not you be guided by that fact?
Witness-No, sir. paid no particular
attention to him. 1t was my master I
was chiefly observing.
The Attorney General-You have not
the slightest idea as to the age of the man
who came out Of the Metropolitan Music
hall with the prisoner.
Witness-Not the slightest, sir.
The Attorney General-Did you observe
nothing particular as to his dress? Was
there any popularity about it?
Witness-I observed nothing particular
about him. Whatever might say Of the
man, paying such little attention to him,
wouldn't be worth much.
The Attorney General recognize that
you are giving your evidence in very
fair manner, and if press you upon
any point it is for the purpose of assist
ing your memory. You recollect that the
prisoner on that night wore a coat OF q
distinct pattern?
Witness-Yes, sir He had on an ulster
with a Scotch check, which couldn't be
mistaken.
The Attorney General-What was 1t
lined with?
Witness-With blue cloth.
The Attorney General-He wore this
ulster when he entered the music hall?
Witness-Yes, sir; and when he camo
out Of the music hall.
The Attorney General-It Is this which
makes me think it likely you might have
observed some distinguishing mark in tho
dress of the man who came out with
him?
Witness-I have nothing in my mind,
sir, respecting his dress.
The Attorney General-Very well, I
will no longer press it. AS to his height?
Witness-As well as I can remember,
he was about the same height as my
master.
The Attorney General-Did you notice
the color of his hair, or whether it was
long or short?
Witness-No, sir.
The Attorney General-If it had been
long white hair, you would most likely
have noticed it?
TNifpacc-T,, fhot rocn VOC cir
The Attorney General-We may u.s.
sumo, then, that he had not long white
hair?
Witness-I think I am safe in saying
that much.
The Attorney General-Or white hair
at all?
Witness-I shouldn't like to commit
myself there, sir. If his hair had been
white and short, don't think it would
have struck me.
The Attorney General-Did he and the
prisoner walk out Of sight?
Witness-No, sir. They walked to the
torner of street, and stood there talk
ing for little while-I should say for
fifteen or twenty minutes. Then the man
went away, down the street, which hid
him from me, and my master returned IT,
the carriage.
The Attorney General-While they were
talking, their backs were still turned to
you?
Witness-Yes, sir.
The Attorney General-Was their any
shing observable in their manner OF con-
yersing? Were they calm? Did they re-
main perfectly still?
Witness-No, sir. My master was calm
enough, but his companion appeared to be
very excited. My master seemed to be
trying to persuade him to do something.
The Attorney General-From their at
titude, should you have assumed that his
arguments prevailed?
Witness-I can't possibly say, sir.
The Attorney General-Well, then, the
man went away and the prisoner returned
to you. What were his next directions?
Witness-To drive to Bloomsbury
square, and stop where he directed me.
The Attorney General-You did so?
Witness-Yes, sir. When we reached
the square in Queen street he pulled the
check string, and I stopped there. He
got out of the carriage and looked about
him.
The Attorney General-As if in search
of some person?
Witness-Yes, sir.
The Attorney General-Did he make
any remark to you?
Witness-He said, eff you see young
lady in gray cloak pass by, you can tell
her am in the square,"
The Attorney General-Did he remain
with you after that?
Witness-No, sir; he walked right round
the square. When he came up to me he
asked if had seen young lady dressed
as he had described. I told him no,
hadn't, and he bade me keep sharp look
out, and left me again"
The Attorney General-To walk round
the square again?
Witness-Yes, sir. He walked round
three or four times, should say, and
every time he came up to me he asked me
if l was sure had not seen the young
lady; if I was sure she had not passed me.
Igave him the same answer us did before,
and he left me again. He could not have
been more than half way round when 1
saw lady in gray cloak coming my
way. She was walking hurriedly, and
looking about her. / advanced to speak
to her, but she started back the moment
made a step toward her, and ran to the
other side of the road. and crossed into the
square at u distance from me. l should
have gone up to her had not been afraid
20 leave my horses; but seeing that she
began to walk round the square in the op-
posite direction my master had taken. l
was satisfied that they must meet.
